Fogg Museum Acquisitions.

Mr. E. W. Forbes '95, has recently imported and deposited in the Fogg Museum a number of original works of art of considerable importance. They comprise three pieces of Greek marble sculpture and four Italian paintings of the Florentine, Venetian, Science and Ferraress schools.

The marbles are: The head and torso of a statue having the characteristics of the work of the 4th century B. C. A. Battle of Amazons. Three parts of a sarcophagus relief of later Greek workmanship, and a small Aphrodite head of good character.

The paintings are: A Florentine Tabernacle, a really fine work in the time of the close of the 15th century, a portrait of a Procurator of St. Mark having the characteristics of the work of Tintoretto, A Madonna and child with saints by Benvenuto di Giovanni (Del Guasta), a Vienese painter of the 15th century, and an Adorazione of the school of Ferrara; perhaps by Lorenzo Costa.

Three of the paintings are now hung in the upper gallery, and the other objects will also be shortly placed on view.
